You can currently stream the first two series on BBC iPlayer.

Tom Basden, known for his work on After Life, created and stars in the series.

The second season will bring back a talented ensemble cast, including Jim Howick from Ghosts, Katherine Parkinson from The IT Crowd, and Alison Steadman from Gavin & Stacey, as well as Freya Parks, Jude Collie, Mica Ricketts, and Tori Allen-Martin from London Kills.

The Independent praised the show as a 'must-watch' comedy, while The Telegraph called it a 'comic masterpiece'.

The series will keep following the Jessops as they deal with life's ups and downs.

Speaking about the show's return, Creator Tom Basden, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to bring the relentlessly chaotic Jessop family back to BBC One for more homespun triumphs and disasters, and can’t wait to work with such a brilliant and hilarious cast once again.”

Jon Petrie, Director of BBC Comedy added: “Here We Go is a hilarious and refreshing addition to the family sitcom…family. The glowing response to the first series was enough to justify two more and we can’t wait to see what the Jessops mess up next.”

The first episode which aired in April, 2022 showed a chaotic family celebrating mom Rachel's birthday.

Teen son Sam filmed all the arguing, craziness, and personal drama on his camcorder.

But at the time - the comedy show left viewers unimpressed - with some complaining they had to switch off before the end.
